SUMMARY: A week after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the body of an unidentified Black female aged 50-59 was found in St. Martin, Mississippi. Known as “Jane (Love),” she remained unidentified despite efforts by authorities. In 2024, using techniques from Othram, a genetic genealogy company, the woman was finally identified as Tonette Waltman Jackson, a victim of the hurricane's floodwaters. Her husband, Hardy Jackson, survived by holding onto a tree after being unable to save Tonette, who asked him to care for their family before being swept away. This identification is one of many facilitated by Othram's technology, with funding from philanthropist Carla Davis.

SUMMARY: Gary Raymon Rush, a 35-year-old from Meridian, received a 50-year prison sentence without parole for sex crimes against a 12-year-old child. Circuit Court Judge Randi P. Mueller issued the sentence for sexual battery and two counts of touching a child for lustful purposes. Rush had been found guilty by a Biloxi jury after evidence surfaced that he had been caught in the victim's bedroom by a family member. The abuse occurred at night and started two weeks before it was discovered. Rush also had a prior guilty plea for attempted rape in Lauderdale County. He will serve his sentence in the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
